Thread: Wood Dust - anyone go?

There is a thread about the event. The ‘usual list of suspects’ do Wood Dust

I went, it was good until the heavens opened and washed it all away on Saturday.

I went on the Saturday to Bungendore - picked up some timber, a few accessories (notably a stone grader for my tormek T4) and some consumables sandpapers etc. Good displays and tool demos. The SawStop demo was quite speccy – the sausage was barely nicked. Good demo too of the pantorouter jig - enables any router to make some great joints by following templates. I love the Lie Neilsen planes, but way out of my league. And there was a demo of a laser cutter – 80W laser able to cut through ply in single passes. At $10K it was out of my price range, but it shows what is coming in that line of technology. I did sort of feel as though they gazumped the Timber and Working with Wood Show by getting in two weeks before – and some of the companies won't be at the TWWWS as a result. The venue was good and the parking well organised, though not well signposted. I got to the car just before the heavens opened with an almighty storm, at which point I headed home. Happy with the stash of wood - Tassie blackwood, maple, redgum and some silky oak. Was almost tempted by the red cedar, but I only have a small car... Would go again if it's on next year, but will also be at the TWWWS - Cheers!
